Nikky...I've used this lovely Fairy which I just love. I've not been able to use my pencils for a while as I've had a bad neck so it was nice to get using them again, but I kept my colouring simple this week...

This wasn't my neatest colouring ever and I made her face a little dark around the edges but hey ho...

Wow! Stunning colouring from all the girls this week! So onto our winners....

This week there were so so many incredible entries it was really really difficult to just choose a few favourites so we want to say a huge thanks to EVERYONE who entered this week, we need a Top 20 again, you really all are so talented!
